Reviews

Melvern Lake campgrounds remain praised for their scenic lake views and helpful staff, though recent guest experiences indicate a decline in maintenance. Issues such as the closure of amenities like the laundromat and changes to site shading have led to some disappointment. There are calls for improved grounds upkeep including tree trimming, road repairs, and regular mowing. Reservations should consider potential recent changes to sites' features.

First time staying in “B” loop. The site was very level, and it was very convenient having full hookups. The restroom/shower house was very nice and very clean. We did not like how close together the sites were and how close to the road our site was. We especially did not like the camp site facing the neighboring campers. We prefer staying in the “A” loop since there is more room.
